Dredge
Dredge is a static ability that functions only while the card with dredge is in a player’s graveyard. “Dredge N” means “As long as you have at least N cards in your library, if you would draw a card, you may instead mill N cards and return this card from your graveyard to your hand.”
A player with fewer cards in their library than the number required by a dredge ability can’t mill any of them this way.
Persist
Persist is a triggered ability. “Persist” means “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control with a -1/-1 counter on it.”
Undying
Undying is a triggered ability. “Undying” means “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control with a +1/+1 counter on it.”
If a state-based action results in a permanent leaving the battlefield at the same time other state-based actions were performed, that permanent’s last known information is derived from the game state before any of those state-based actions were performed.
Rulings
If any abilities trigger as you sacrifice permanents, those abilities won't be put onto the stack until after you've returned creature cards from your graveyard to the battlefield.
You sacrifice the artifacts, enchantments, and/or tokens as part of the resolution of Lich-Knights' Conquest. It isn't an additional cost. If Lich-Knights' Conquest is countered, you won't sacrifice anything.
You can choose to sacrifice zero permanents.
An artifact creature or enchantment creature sacrificed to Lich-Knights' Conquest may be one of the cards chosen to be returned.
