Strip: Varnishing Question

We have our first coat of varnish on & have started the sanding process using 320. The first coat has left some brush streaks in the varnish - some of them are quite deep and noticable - is it necessary to fully sand them out, or will the next coat fill the voids and bring it up to a flat surface. I plan to do 6 or 7 coats & will make sure on the next one we stop well before the varnish starts to set up.
