you should only do the one line you took off. if you wanna get frisky you can bleed all of them but then you may aswell just change the fluid..

i say get frisky and do all of them. especially if the fluid in there is over 1.5 years old. It's not that much more work ya know.

well... the fluid is almost brand new. i bleed it (2) weeks ago because i changed my MC due to leak between the booster... and discovered a hole in the line recently. it is tough to find a partner to pump the pedal. probably do all of them though.
