If you open up the Find/Replace and use this grep in the find box:

^(\w)

and this replacement in the Replace box:

\U\1\E

and then you can do Replace All

If you want to include the start of sentences that may have spaces in front 
of them (like the classic indent for a paragraph), you can use:

^(\s*)(\w)

and:

\1\U\2\E

Hope that answers your question. As to terminology, I think you're right to 
use "line" where the editor would show a line number to the left in the 
gutter, and "sentence" for a line that corresponds to grammar, e.g. a 
starting capital letter all the way to a fullstop.
