Jmeter: Distributed testing

Question

a very common scenario which we all face.

I have a Master and 2 slaves.
A CSV data set with 20 unique users.
I want to run 10 users on each slave simultaneously.
Should I split 20 users in to 2 files of 10 each and upload the CSV in each of the Slaves? Or
20 in each slaves and the thread count as 20?

I want to run for all the users but not twice.

As always has been Looking forward for thoughts?

Best.

The scenario is not common and it doesn't make a lot of sense either.

Whatever.

All JMeter slaves are executing the same test plan and know nothing about each other so:

"split 20 users in to 2 files of 10 each and upload the CSV in each of the Slaves"
set the number of threads in the Thread Group to 10, in case of 2 slaves you will have 20 virtual users in total
