I am trying to connect multiple esp8266 over wifi and build a two way connection between them where one device is a base link and all other devices send and receive data to that device when required. Could use server also as a base link which can process the data and send confirmation and results back to the sender. Can anyone help

If you want to use esp8266's you should probably run the Arduino code directly on them and use normal IP networking, probably with TCP. Otherwise if you want a radio to pass messages between arduinos something like the nrf24l01 may be simpler and cheaper than having an esp8266 and arduino in each node. – Chris Stratton 2 days ago
    
"The programming part" tells us nothing at all. Please try to be more specific. Do you know how to program in C or C++? If not, Google will find resources to help you start programming. If you do know C(++) then there are many examples in the Arduino IDE which show you how to use the ESP as an access point and as a station (client), and how to send and receive data. People will be glad to help you if you have a specific question. – Mark Smith 2 days ago
