Are you looking at the square filters with a holder and set of adapter rings, such as these? Or singular, circle filters like these?
If you're looking at square filter systems, you'll just need a holder, filters (all of which are a standard 100mm size), and the adapter rings which connect your lens to the filter holder. You can then transfer the holder with the same filters to each of your lenses.
If you're looking at single, circle filters, they come in a variety of sizes and this is when you should buy the one that fits your largest lens a set of step-up/adapter rings. Having said that, I don't think I've ever seen a filter that's sold with the rings included like you mentioned?
If you're new to ND filters, spend a good amount of time considering which method you'd prefer and which brand to go with. It's always worth spending more on a good set of filters "for life" than buying cheaper ones, as you'll often find they colour-cast and can ruin your images. Well known and respected brands include Tiffen, Lee, Cokin Z Series, Hoya, B+W etc.
The ones that I've seen most recommended are the Lee Big Stoppers. They'e not cheap and you have to buy filter holders. But they can be used on pretty much any lens so you won't have to buy more than one for different sized threads.
If you want a cheaper one, then stick to the big brands like Hoya and Tiffen. But even these aren't what you'd call inexpensive.
I have some and I love them.
You can use a neutral density filter. Neutral density means grey, as opposed to having a distinct colour like blue, or red.
*Edit: Here's a decent one to increase expsosure by 6 stops. Note the thread diameter, which will be printed on your lens. There are loads of sizes and darknesses to choose from.
Other than being darkened, it doesn't interfere with the photo at all, it just leads to longer exposure times. Why?
If this image had been shot with an exposure time of anything over, say, 10 seconds, it's very unlikely any people would show up on the photo.
At a pinch, you can use a polariser to increase your exposure by about 2 stops, so from 1/4 to a whole second, from a second to four seconds or thereabouts.
If you're wanting photos void of people wandering around, this is definitely a good way to do it.
