Narrative:
The captain and I were in a canadair regional jet taxiing eastbound on taxiway left at atl. We were given instructions to taxi on taxiway left and were to hold short of taxiway D (an intersecting taxiway). The captain and I misunderstood the instructions and thought the controller said to hold short on taxiway left. We first noticed the confusion when we began the turn onto taxiway D and saw a B767 approaching us on taxiway M. Taxiway M is a parallel taxiway to taxiway left. I immediately told the captain to stop taxiing. We stopped short of taxiway M with enough room for the B767 to pass.
