It's actually pretty simple.

1. Create a new Electrum wallet.
2. Send all your Bitcoins to your new recently created wallet.
3. Now you have Bitcoin in a new wallet and still got BCC on your old wallet.
4. Download Electron Cash[1] and import your old wallet (containing BCC and no Bitcoins).
5. You will see your BCC balance. Congrats! You have a wallet with BCC and another with Bitcoin.

Yes, you can skip this part.

It's not a mandatory step. But it's recommended to avoid replay attacks.

If you don't want to, you can simple import your wallet in Electron Cash and use both softwares to manage your coins on both chains.

And How to import my old wallet (containing BCC and no Bitcoins) to Electron Cash.
Electron Cash has the same interface as Electrum. Just follow the steps when you open the software and import your wallet with your seed phrase.
