Listen address is the network address the node will listen into. Seeds is the contact points a node will use when bootstrapping to find a cluster.
To make those four into a single cluster just start the first one with himself as a seed and then sequentially bootstrap the others with the first one as a seed. Finally run nodetool status to check that they see each other.
