Don't try to do them all at once. Maybe also space out several "introductions" over the course of a few days, giving your dogs some space to decompress after the encounters. Depending on how it's going, you might want to also let them play together in groups of two, then three, before you let all four of them together. Keep me posted, and if anything comes up about which you have further questions, feel free to ask away.
