Is there any method to add a line break between?
Not only a comma.

So, you want to have one row of comma-separated values instead of separate ones? If so, you could do

index=_internal | stats values(host) as somename | eval somename=mvjoin(somename,",")

I want to add a "comma" in my result

host1,host2

Is there any function to do?

The first row is a header row so it'd be misleading to put an actual field value there. You can rename the text in the header if you want:

index=_internal | stats values(host) as someothername

(I removed the table command in your search because you don't need it)
