I'm sorry, I probably miss something.  Could you please provide a bit more detailed example?

The way I see it

    ...
    Trigger(schedulerNames=['a', ..., 'z'], waitForFinish=True)
    ...

would trigger all those builds in parallel and wait for all of them to finish
before proceeding with the builder where this step is used.
