Talking about BIP 39...

I understand how a 24 word phrase is used to represent 256 bits (the private key).

But how does a 12 word phrase, which can only be represented from 128 bits, generate a private key of 256 bits? Where do the other 128 bits of the private key come from? Is it just randomly generated from the BIP 39 process?
