Here is my Minexample

\mainlanguage   [de]

\definepapersize[MyBook][A5]
\setuppapersize[MyBook][A5]

\usetypescript[times]
\setupbodyfont[times,10pt]
\setupbodyfontenvironment   [default][em=italic] % use italic as em, not slanted

\setuphead[subsection][before={\blank[line]},style=bold] % Kleine subsections, besserer grid
\setuphead[section][after={\blank[line]}]

\setuplayout[grid=yes]

\showgrid
%\setupbackgrounds  [header][text][frame=off,bottomframe=on]

\starttext
Last paragraph Text.....

\section{First section}

\subsection{First Subsection}

\stoptext

Now you see in the grid, that the placement is not optimal. There are three lines before and after the section. It would be better to have f.e. 3 before and 1 after, or 2 before and 1 after or aynthing like that. How to achieve that?

  • Neither the language, paper size, page background and italic or bold settings are needed to illustrate the empty line problem. Try to construct the example as minimal as possible.

    I was not sure about the paper size, typescript and font size because it determines the number of lines

The Details manual has detailed explanations about grid typesetting and section head placement on the grid. In your case you need to use the grid=low setting.

\setuplayout
  [grid=yes]

\setuphead
  [section]
  [after=]

\setuphead
  [subsection]
  [before=,
   grid=low]

\showgrid

\starttext

Last paragraph Text.....

\startsection [title=First section]
  \startsubsection[title=First Subsection]
  \stopsubsection
\stopsection

\stoptext
