If I understand you correctly and you want to stop a particular URL from being indexed you would be best using the no-index meta tag within the head section of that page:
You probably want the search engines to follow the links on the page even if the page should not be indexed, so add the 'follow'.

If your site is built in Wordpress, this is very easy to do as you set this in the advanced page options when using Yoast SEO's plugin.
If not, then you need to add the following code into the section of your site:
name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" > or <meta <span class="webkit-html-tag">name="robots" content="index, nofollow" ></meta <span>
