The person on the line will check if the person is in danger or not, and ask about how the person is feeling. What can the person do for the caller, give positive feedbacks always and see what are the ways the listener can help very much like 7 cups of tea but we can't give personal opinions but this time round we listen to the voice physically.

Their concern would be processed immediately by the counseling volunteers over the phone , and hopefully to talk things out before that certain someone do a rash thing,

The suicide hotline is similar to 7cups in that they offer support and encouragement. They are more specifically trained to handle suicide though.

When someone dials a suicide hotline,they are met by a compassionate and professional volunteer who will answer their call and support them for as long as needed.The caller may be asked questions about their mental health,given advice on how to control their thoughts or be asked to contact an ambulance.
Suicide hotlines are a non-judgemental place where you can open up to somebody who has all the right resources to care and support you,

They will talk to you for a while, make sure you are okay, talk you through the moment then, in the end, ask for you to get help. No police will be called, and conversations stay only between the caller and the hotline.

When you call the suicide hotline, you may have to wait a couple minutes as you are connected to someone to help. And whoever they connect you with will talk to you about what's going on and attempt to calm you down.

Well what happens there is someone on the other side of the phone that is going to first ask some questions and try to keep the person on the line enough for the help to arrive for the person in need. I mean there is a reason for this hotline and it has saved a lot of people and I want to say that it is important at this time for listening to the person that is in need here and do not make this about you make them safe and all about them in the end the goal is to save a life here and I will make sure I would do everything in my power doing doing this. That is what I would think a person would do if someone would call the hotline.

Usually, the first thing they will try to gauge is your safety at the current moment. They will want to determine if you are currently a danger to yourself or others. If you are, they will send some help to de-escalate the situation. If not, they will talk you through your feelings and work with you to find a way to make the current moment more bearable so you are hopefully no longer in crisis and have a bit of a game plan with some next steps. They might be able to offer local resources for you to reach out to for further continual support.
