Javascript API SDK: How to call multiple actors simultaneously?

I have this code which works fine to call my custom actor a single time:
const run = await client.actor("xyz").call(input);

But I want to run multiple Actors simultaneously, like this:
Plain Text
for (let input of inputs) {
        const run = await client.actor("xyz").call(input);
    }


But obviously this doesn't work because each actor has to finish before the code initiates another actor. How do i do a synchronous call like this so I can trigger multiple actors? My data is all collected via webhook when the actor finishes, so I don't need wait for the run to finish in this codebase.

You can set it to 0, if the number of calls is not that high (you can reach api call limits per sec).
Otherwise set 2-3 secs. Should be good.
Thanks! Would this work?

        const run = await client.actor("xyz").call(input, {waitSecs:3});
    }
