It's most likely a current that flows through the differential input pair but is not mirror to the second stage. So it's like having a current source in parallel with your current mirror.
Because of the increased current, the input pairs have a bigger gm. Thus, the complete opamp has higher gain. Because the current is not mirrored, it does not cause an increase in current consumption of the second stage.
