I am trying to create a wireless network, where I will be controlling multiple ESP8266 modules with a single master ESP8266

I want to add more than 100 in the future in a single network

I think you need to rethink your master node. A esp8266 is unlikely to handle so many nodes, not sure that an esp32 would either. Maybe a Raspberry pi V4 is more appropriate for the task.
