Get all signers for a package

Hi, When 'eslClient.getPackageService().getPackage({packageID}).getSigners()' is used, it gives a list of all signers including the sender as one of the signers. This is the case even though the sender has no documents to sign. Is there a way to exclude a sender from the signer list (if sender does not have any docs to sign)? Thanks, Sudhangi
