With their spears at hand.
A lo que se refiere el autor es que tanto Castor como Pollux llevan sus lanzas listas para ser usadas. Las respuestas ofrecidas con anterioridad no tienen sentido ni significado en inglés.

ready for action; lance at the ready
Literalmente en este caso, "lance(s) (como son dos) at the ready", como los caballeros al participar en justas; idiomáticamente, también significa "ready for action." Como van montados en caballos, la lanza no es un "spear", sino "lance."
