The cast on row stays on your needle until you finish your first knit row. Keep knitting every row and your cast on row (and subsequent rows) move down as your piece gets longer. Someone gave you some advice regarding stockinette stitch. If you're making a scarf, garter stitch will stay flat and stockinette stitch will curl. There are things you can do to minimize the curling of a stockinette st scarf, but if you stay with garter stitch for this project you won't have to worry about it. When you're ready to learn more knitting techniques, this web site has a lot of good instructional videos. You got it right. The cast on row stays on your needle until you finish your first knit row.

Garter stitch is knit every row. Since you are new, when you read "stockinette stitch" it means knit one row and purl the next row. It will be flat on one side and bumpy on the other. Garter is bumpy on both sides. Have fun! Yep! Garter stitch is knit every row.
