Hai,
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/windows-time-service/how-the-windows-time-service-works
Look in the above link, search for "Time Synchronization in an AD DS Hierarchy".
There you find the PDC Emulator role. In the piramide. ;-)
This one explains even better then the technet link.
It also explains Alexei's question i believe.
Greetz,
Louis
