The Milky Way is a huge group of stars, somewhere between 200 and 400 billion stars. The stars themselves, or the Milky Way in its entirety, is not in line with anything.

What is the Milky Way and the pleiades are different?

The Pleiades are a star cluster, only about a thousand stars - while the Milky Way is a galaxy, a group of 200-400 billion stars. Rather confusingly, the "Milky Way" is also the name of the faint band of light in the night sky caused by millions of stars within the Milky Way Galaxy. They are too faint to be seen as individual stars with the naked eye. It is a "line of sight" effect not a cluster of stars.

Is the Sun going to line up with the Milky Way?

No. The Milky Way is our galaxy, and our Sun is part of the Milky Way. The Milky Way got its name because it LOOKS like somebody spilled several gallons of milk across the sky.
