In chapter 148, after Akaza lands a grazed kick on Tanjiro with the "Cap Tip Slice" move, Giyuu covers for Tanjiro and fights Akaza. In this scene, Akaza says ; "Elegant! This is finely crafted swordsmanship! Splendid!" and goes on to ask Giyuu for his name. So I'd say that Akaza is referring to him as a highly skilled pillar in general.
