In every such suit all persons having liens on the real estate sought to be subjected by judgment or otherwise, shall be made parties, plaintiff or defendant, or if the number of such persons exceed ten the suit may be brought by any one or more of them, for the benefit of himself and such other lien holders as will come in and contribute to the expenses of the suit.
