Sending record to manager for approval

Hi,

I have standard approval process with 5 approval steps. I want to set up an approver in 4th step which should be manager of a approver from 1st step. How should I achieve this? I dont have this user present in current record but I have approver user from 1st step in a lookup field. I am thinking of creating a field (hidden) which will be filled automatically from apex controller using user.manager where user is approver from 1st step. Then I can use this field in approval step. Is my approach correct? If yes, will every record creator have access to user.manager so that the field will be properly filled. Thanks!
