Passing data between 2 UIViewController using delegate and protocol

I know this question has been asked and answered many times over here. But I am dealing with this thing for the first time and still not able to get the perfect implementation of it in my mind. Here's the code I have the delegate method I implement to pass data from SecondViewController to FirstViewController.

FirstViewController.h

#import "SecondViewController.h"

@interface FirstViewController : UITableViewController<sampleDelegate> 
@end

FirstViewController.m

@interface FirstViewController ()

// Array in which I want to store the data I get back from SecondViewController.
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSArray *sampleData;
@end

@implementation FirstViewController
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
   SecondViewController *controller = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];          
   [self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
@end

SecondViewController.h

@protocol sampleDelegate <NSObject>
- (NSArray*)sendDataBackToFirstController;
@end

@interface SecondViewController : UITableViewController
@property (nonatomic, strong) id <sampleDelegate> sampleDelegateObject;
@end

SecondViewController.m

@interface SecondViewController ()
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *dataInSecondViewController;
@end

@implementation SecondViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.dataInSecondViewController = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Object1", @"Object2", nil];
}

- (NSArray*)sendDataBackToFirstController
{
    return self.dataInSecondViewController;
}
@end

Am I doing it correctly? All I want it to send the data in self.dataInSecondViewController to FirstViewController and store it over there in the NSArray property sampleData of FirstViewController.

Somehow I am not able to access sendDataBackToFirstController in FirstViewController. What other things I am missing implementing to access sendDataBackToFirstController there?
