If the lens is also sealed, how is it going to focus ?

Wow ! How did I not think about.
You are right, but some lenses have internal focus and even zoom.
"efef21", you have to check it !

I know that the S lenses, 16-50 and 50-150 have internal focus, are factory S(ealed).
But I presume the others are not.

the lens is going to be covered with something like a transparent cup that will leave some space for focusing. This cup will be glued to the body with the silicone sealant

I first want to open the body and fill the inside with the silicone sealant as much as i can (withour getting anything on the sensor or buttons of course), just for that extra precaution.
