Should I use "that were" or "who were"?

Tanin and Sturm were part of a contingent of Knights of Solamnia "that were/who were" slain by an invading force of Dark Knights in a battle at Thoradin Bay.

I normally use who(m) when referring to people, even if they have been identified by a common noun such as 'contingent'.
