How can I find the line of intersection between two planes?
I know the mathematics idea, and I did the cross product between the the planes normal vectors
but how to get the line from the resulted vector programmatically

You can find the formula for the intersection line of two planes in this link.
P1: a1x + b1y + c1z = d1
P2: a2x + b2y + c2z = d2
n1=(a1,b1,c1); n2=(a2,b2,c2); n12=Norm[Cross[n1,n2]]^2
If n12 != 0
a1 = (d1*Norm[n2]^2 - d2*n1.n2)/n12;
a2 = (d2*Norm[n1]^2 - d1*n1.n2)/n12;
P = a1 n1 + a2 n2;
(*formula for the intersection line*)
Li[t_] := P + t*Cross[n1, n2];
