My friend's tank has a cracked bottom near the corner and is leaking.Should all the water need to be drained?Will silicone do the trick?

Move all the fish with the water to a bucket with a airstone and empty the aquarium.

You need to empty the whole tank.
Dry the tank and then apply silicon glue.
If the crack is big, then you need to replace the glass or you can stick a small glass piece inside the tank.
