It sounds like you're describing an ensemble cast, where there are several key characters but no single main character. While the page I linked to talks about TV/movies, the same applies to written works. The style is not at all uncommon in, at least, science-fiction novels (what I mostly read).

To proceed, start writing. :-) Some writers divide up chapters by point-of-view characters (for example, Jo Walton's The Just City, Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem). Others divide up chapters by locale/subplot, with several active key characters being shown in each (for example, Eric Flynn's 1632 series, Hugh Howey's Wool series). Make sure your readers always know where the are, story-wise, and you should be fine.
