Yes, T+E in and out at each light. The last one in the chain will have just T+E in. Wire both Phase (Live) wires together and both Neutrals together at each light, i.e. in parallel not series.
If you're putting downlights in soffits you should be using IP rated downlights (e.g. Showerlites).

Be careful that the soffits are not asbestos.If they are wood then the downlighters must be rated for mounting in combustible material ('F' rated)
