With the cursor in the new section: Layout → Line Numbers → Line Numbering Options… → Layout tab → Line Numbers…
Tick Add line numbering.
Set Numbering: Restart each page. Make sure Apply to: This section (or "This point forward") is selected. OK.
Why this earns the marks
line numbering is a section setting, exactly like margins, columns or page borders — it can never apply to "part of" a document unless that part is its own section first. Without a break between the TOC and the content, line numbers would also appear on the TOC page, because there would only be one section covering both, so the numbering would not start "from the page after" no matter how the Line Numbers dialog is configured. The three actions are: begin in the right place (which usually means creating the section break first), switch numbering on, and set restart each page — each is independently checkable.
