I'd suggest thinking about what sort of storyline/plot you want to embroil this entourage of yours in. Expecting PC's to follow your character around as her group in Ul'dah sounds like it would get old very quickly, without some form of story for this group to be following it will ultimately end up as four people following your character around and getting ordered to do things repeatedly for the sake of having something to do.
Like the suggestions above me, there is nothing wrong with having these characters played by NPC's who you can emote being around or at your characters beck and call, but locating players willing to do it is a tall order. The idea of having one PC bodyguard is much more workable, but still requires some kind of plot to push it forward else they are just being a statue following you about.
