But I want to know what exactly is tonal masking?

Tonal masking is using tones at specific frequencies for sound masking, as compared with using noise containing a continuous band of frequencies.
In most practical situations noise is more effective for masking than tones, but experiments with pure tones are a way to try to understand how masking actually "works" in human hearing.
