標題[文法] 關於獨立結構

各位板友們好:
我今天在研究獨立結構的時候看到一個我不太能理解的例句,想向各位請教,
他提供的例句:
A number of officials followed the emperor, some to hold his robe, others
to adjust his girdle.
我理解的原句是這樣:
A number of officials followed the emperor. Some of the officials held his
robe, and others adjusted his girdle.
那為什麼不是寫成:
A number of officials followed the emperor, some holding his robe, others
adjusting his gridle.
因為兩句話的主詞不太一樣(應該吧?第一句是「全部」的官員,第二句是「部份」的
官員),所以主詞留著,再來因為hold跟adjust是主動動作所以改成Ving。
這種用to的寫法還是第一次看到,不是很能夠理解,請各位板友幫忙,謝謝。
