=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet8!A1) entered in any cell on any sheet which is not
Sheet1:Sheet8

Sheets 1 through 8 do not have to be selected.

Even better is to insert a new dummy sheet at left and a new dummy sheet at
right-end of other sheets.

Name them Start and End

Formula =SUM(Start:End!A1)

Any new sheets can be inserted between these two dummy sheets.

Now it doesn't matter what the intervening sheets are named.
