Stars do not change position stellar coordinates will not change in the space of a week of two. If you set up a mount permanently and attain perfect polar alignment you wouldn't have to realign for a considerable period of time
In relation to the fixed south meridian line or true south line , Stars sure do move. The reference was geared to mounts which have to be set up each time
“Not permanent”
