Not really. Set the on-camera flash to the lowest possible power
output that will trigger the slaves. The on-camera flash will
actually do a fine job of adding just a touch of sparkle to the
eyes and will ever so slightly soften the shadow under the nose
and chin.

The studio lights will have at least a four-stop advantage over
the pip-squeek on-camera flash essentially rendering it
non-existent.

You'll need just one of the slaves to be able to "see" your
camera flash.  If you have a studio flash above and behind the
subject (hair light), this will will usually be the one to be
the first to fire and the left/right/background lights will
slave off of that one.
