What happens to my second mortgage obligation if my first mortgage lender forecloses?

If a house was foreclosed and it had a 80/20 loan on it ie both loans from same company and closed on same day. Can a third party attempt to claim the amount owed on the 2nd loan? The 2nd loan was used in purchasing the house.
