I recommend you shouldn't do any work on your electrical panel until you understand how it is hooked up.
What you are talking about are the 2 side of a Breaker LINE and LOAD. Line (L1 & L2)is the Voltage from the Street, Single Phase 220V (Generator), Load is the side that the Breaker is sending to the equipment.

I use an Interlock on my panel and it works fine. You can power up the key circuits needed to "weather" the Storm. When laying out the breaker configuration you want to balance the "load" as evenly on L1 and L2. You can see this on the PANEL layout as to how the Furnace is on L1 and the Refrigerator is on L2. Out side of the Well Pump these are the most important Items to have working.
