(b) If it is made to appear to the court previous to the confirmation of such sale, that the sureties taken on the notes or bonds of the purchasers or the security given are insufficient, such sale, as to every such purchaser, must not be confirmed until he or she gives security for the purchase money to the satisfaction of the court; and if such security is not given within 10 days the sale must be vacated as to the purchaser thus failing.
