I’ve just finished my first loaf of bread and I love it. I’m confused as to how and when I will be able to make my next loaf.

This part confuses me:

Preserving the Starter: Each time you remove a portion of the starter for a recipe, reserve at least 1/4 cup and replace the amount you have taken out with equal amounts of flour and water.
For example, if you remove 1 cup of starter, you must replace it with 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of warm water. Whisk these ingredients into the starter until blended but not completely smooth, cover loosely, and return to the refrigerator.

I understand it , and I removed 1 1/2 cups starter for my bread and replaced just like it said above.

My main question is by reading that recipe I can’t figure out if when I get ready to make my next loaf I need to let this starter set out at room temp or just take what I need to make my bread and replace with what I take
