The master cylinder needs replacing.

The rubber to cast metal on the piston allows the fluid to bypass and the pedal falls while fluid goes back to the reservoirs.

Be careful when replacing.

MC's with Stainless Steel sleeves are supposed to be a lot better than cast.

Raybestos Premium is my choice.

Definitely sounds like you need a master cylinder. don't forget to bench bleed before installation.
