That's why the specs mentionned using a mosfet directly to VCC ...
(But of course, on software side, it is a bit more complex since you need to cut that supply before receiving the data)

I tested the system with different resistor values, and I managed to read up to 3 sensors. (R = 0.76k). I just have to buy MOSFET
Thank You

Try to connect the Pullup to 5v and wire 2 pairs of antiparalell diodes between the Sensors string/pullup and the digital io of the ESP to get a data bus voltage level of at least 4.5V. Good luck!

Maybe it is an issue that WStan is facing.
I have some other projects using also 3.3V MCU as well, but I'm using a bidirectional level-shifter one those.

Use requestTemperaturesByAddress instead.

Have you tried this?
