Joe Johnston had been brought back and put in charge of a large and unmanageable area which included Georgia.
There was very little combat during the march.
Sherman expected a battle at Savannah, but the small Confederate army under General Hardee escaped across the river, and Sherman followed it into South Carolina.

Who was the union leader in sherman's march to the sea?
The overall Confederate commander in the South-East was Joseph E. Johnston, based in Carolina. The commander of the only sizeable Confederate army in Georgia was General Hardee, who did not provide much resistance to Sherman during the march to the sea, but occupied Savannah, where Sherman expected quite a big battle, possibly destructive to that gracious city. In the event, Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina, where Sherman followed him about a month later.
