Since you have a one-switch-per-light configuration, you'll need to run a cable from the switch electrical box to each light. So you'd have the line coming into the box, and then the hot would go to each switch, and then from each switch to each light. All of the neutrals would be tied together.
This of assumes that a single circuit can handle the load of all of these lights - have you done any load calculations yet? You also have to watch out for the box size as code states the maximum number of wires in each box depending on the size.
There might be other ways to accomplish this (extra wires for travelers, etc.) but we'd need more information on your setup to help provide any insight here./
