There are two kind of "wireless": Radio and Line of sight.

All Canon in-Body wireless enabled bodies refers to the Line of sight.

Optical, using light.

Therefore, to trigger any flash wirelessly, the inbuilt flash will pop up and will go off to trigger the main flash.

Yep.

if you do not want the exposure to be affected by the on camera flash, dial down it's exposure to the minimum.

Better to set it not to fire using the Wireless func. setting.
