Default Soft peddle after rotor and pad change

I changed the front rotors and pads to powerslot and hawk pads. On the driver side i removered the brake line and then reattached it. I then replaceed all the new parts. I did the same on the passangers side. When i removed the brakeline it lost a lot of fluid. I refilled the brake fuild. then pumped the peddle till it was firm. Then when i tired to press the brake again it was soft and went to the floor. I hope i'am explaining this right. what should I do bleed the entire system?

Any time you break a line you will need to bleed the system.
