No action shall be abated by the plea that there are other plaintiffs or defendants who ought to be joined therein, but such persons may be made parties to the action upon such terms as the court shall order, and may be summoned by scire facias, or notified by publication, as the court may order; and the action shall thereafter proceed as if their names were inserted in the original writ.
