Detecting solenoid ON and OFF state

I want to detect solenoid ON and OFF state.
If solenoid ON, with respect to HIGH signal no problem.
If solenoid not working means with respect to HIGH signal, solenoid remains OFF state. In that situation I have to generate HIGH or LOW signal.
So I designed a circuit with XOX gate attached here.
I have to detect 128 solenoid ON/OFF state.
My question is, this circuit is will withstand for 128 solenoid?
If not means any other solution?

Should work ok.
If the pull-up voltage is <= the logic supply voltage then you may not need the resistor on pin 1.
If a single status indication will suffice for all the solenoids then you could diode-OR the pin 2 inputs and avoid having to use 128 gates.
