You’ll want 6 to 10 Spirit Towers to the north and east before the final onslaught and close to that number to the west as well. You’re limited by how much gold you have available so you’ll need to preserve resources and not let your towers get destroyed early on in the mission.

During the course of the summoning you’ll be gifted with units. I preferred to keep these units next to Kel’Thuzad and use them as his own personal body guard. You’ll be given first Hellhounds and then Infernals. If anyone breaks through your towers they’ll be there to protect Kel’Thuzad.

Make sure you have a spare acolyte who’s set to auto-repair on each side to repair the towers and keep them from being destroyed.

If you can hold out to the end you’ll complete the Undead campaign and be ready to move on to the first chapter of the Night Elf campaign, Enemies at the Gate.
