Do you have a spare MCU pin on the reader's pics? If so you could hook the readers all to the usart with a series resistor on each, then when a reader sends data it could pull that spare pin low which signals the other readers to standby, (all spare pins hooked together). Just make sure the reader's output pins Idle in the High state.
