The correct sentence would be:
Not only the soldiers but their captain was also arrested.
- Firstly, it should be "their" and not "there". "Their" is used to express that something or some person belongs to or is associated with the previously mentioned persons. For example, "kids love their toys" will mean that toys belong to the kids and they love them.
- There, on the other hand, expresses something like some place or a position. For example, "the students stayed there for about two hours", will mean students stayed at a place for two hours.
- Secondly, since the captain is singular, the helping verb should also be singular that is "was", not "were".
