I'm using hotpluged (via udev) feature, what I do noticed that if I
press CRTL+ALT+F1on seat 2, seat1 goes to cli.

I dont know if that could help you but it seems to be a VT-Switch related problem. When you hit Ctrl-Alt-FX, a signal (SIGUSR1) is sent to X.org. This signal raise a flag that is handled by xf86Wakeup then xf86VTSwitch. This functions disable IO and framebuffer access for all screens. Then, an ioctl is sent to switch to cli.

I'm not familiar with multiseat, but this situation seems normal if your two seats share the same X instance. If not, it is a bit weird that the second X instance got notified.

I wanted to know, why multiseat setup needs to share vts? why if I take
out this feature, one of the seats doesn't lights up?

I think that -sharevts is used to allows multiple X instances to share the same /dev/ttyx but i may be wrong or it can have other uses.
