The treatment liquid according to claim 2 , wherein the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (A) is the compound represented by General Formula (I), in which R 11 and R 12 is bonded to each other to form a ring, and the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (B) is the compound represented by General Formula (III). 4. The treatment liquid according to claim 2 , wherein a mass content ratio of the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (A) to the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (B) is 2 to 30,000. 5. The treatment liquid according to claim 2 , wherein a mass content ratio of the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (A) to the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (B) is 100 to 15,000. 6. The treatment liquid according to claim 2 , wherein the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (B) includes two compounds selected from the group consisting of the compound represented by General Formula (II), the compound represented by General Formula (III), and the compound represented by General Formula (V), and a mass ratio of the two compounds is 1 to 10,000. 7. The treatment liquid according to claim 2 , wherein a content of the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (B) is 0.01 to 10,000 ppm by mass with respect to a total mass of the treatment liquid. 8. The treatment liquid according to claim 2 , wherein a content of the nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound (B) is 0.5 to 80 ppm by mass with respect to a total mass of the treatment liquid. 9. The treatment liquid according to claim 1 , further comprising a cobalt ion. 10. The treatment liquid according to claim 9 , wherein the cobalt ion is a cobalt ion derived from at least one cobalt ion source selected from the group consisting of cobalt fluoride, cobalt chloride, cobalt hydroxide, cobalt oxide, and cobalt sulfate. 11.
