Brake Bleeding Question

So I just replaced two short sections of the brake lines (due to rust) that run along the driver's side door to the rear brakes. Of course, once I cut them, a bunch of fluid drained out.
Now, I don't need to replace all of the fluid as it was recently changed during a major service, but I just need to get rid of the air that's now in the lines. So, can I bleed just the rear brakes? Do I need to have someone pump the brake (without going all the way to the floor and possibly busting seals) or will the air in the line just come out with gravity?
This is my first time doing this, and I don't want to mess it up considering it's a safety issue!
