IMO, for a long sitting car you should do the wheel cylinders just to have peace of mind. If you don't want to do them all at this time then at least pull and check one. If it is full of fluid that looks in decent condition then when you get the new master, bleed the system and check the condition of the fluid in the other cylinders. If each cylinder runs clearish when the first purge of the cylinders happen then probably OK but with the master completely dry there is a good chance issues may be found in the wheel cylinders.

Since the old fluid collects moisture, corrosion and rust in the cylinder could be present. Also check the condition of the hoses. They should be changed if old and if the car has sat long enough for the master to dry the hoses could be in poor shape.
