So long as the others are wearing the White Fang uniforms, they could easily pretend to be hiding their Faunus traits, since not all of the White Fang members' traits are apparent when in uniform.... So, it wouldn't be too unbelievable for the others to attend the meeting, it's just smarter for Blake to be the one to go in, since she knows them and their antics better than anyone else.

I would presume it would be reasonably difficult. We know that the Faunus have brilliant night vision, so it's arguable that they may have other sensory traits such as smell or hearing that are stronger than the human average. In the case of smell, animals can detect pheromones over long distances and derive meaning from them, including the identity of the pheromone creator. Humans are capable of the same thing, although the sense of smell is lessened.

It's safer for two Faunus to go in, rather than a faunus and human, because considering the factors in their favor, the chances are any humans trying to pass off as faunus would get caught, either because they don't "smell" right, or because they can't see very clearly in the darkened meeting room because of their poor night vision.

Either way, Blake and Sun are the best two options for getting in and out without being too obvious, and because of Blake's knowledge of the White Fang, at least from before she defected, then it's a little bit safer for them both.
