Voice leading (or part writing) is the linear progression of individual melodic lines (voices or parts) and their interaction with one another to create harmonies, typically in accordance with the principles of common-practice harmony and counterpoint.

The only other clarification I would add is that voice leading involves maintaining the integrity of notes as voices within chords when changing to a different chord. Think smooth, connected or uninterrupted chord changes.
I hope this helps.
