Flash Meter 4 multi-flash slave setup


I am moving from hot lamp photography to flash photography I have my old Vivitar 2000 hooked to a optical slave, I just purchased to other optically triggered flash units for use with my studio umbrellas, still on backorder. I will be using either the built in flash on my SLR to fire the other flashes. Is there something special I need to look for in a flash meter which will give me a good reading since one flash, the primary, will be firing slightly before the other two or three?

I am looking at the Wein WP-500B Standard.

I'm concerned the meter will only see the first flash and not the ones fired by the Wein Hot shoe slave and the Quantaray MS-1 slave flash's
