You should consult a book about DNS and Bind as recommended already.
That what you intend to do is called 'hidden primary'.
Just do not mention the primary NS in your zone file of the parent zone
and the sub zone itself (except in the SOA record). But direct your
secondary to {A,I}XFR the zone data from that primary by a approbiate
'masters { ... }' statement in its named conf.
