Yeah, just do a good job mixing the track roughly, as if you were going to unmute the actual lead later in the process. Except instead of unmuting the vocal, the vocal still has to be performed
Carve out some space and make an appropriate space for the vocal in/on the mix.
Overall it should inspire and sound natural, and comfortable to perform to. That means you want quite some dynamics, so no brickwalling necessary.
good luck,
