When you hedge your portfolio by buying a put option or
selling short the call option, the MM will enter the opposite
position. His position is then a bullish position.
In order to make that position market neutral, or delta-hedged, the
Market Maker must short some underlying shares to hedge his
market risk, and adjust that hedge dynamically (their
computers do that) as the market moves. Market Makers never
sell options unhedged.
