You have to replace the line that ruptured, which could be inexpensive or expensive, depending on which one. Once replaced, you need to flush and bleed your brake system. If you are mechanically inclined, you can do all of this yourself. If not experienced at bleeding ABS systems, it can be frustrating, and maybe worth paying a shop to do it.
