As you are a Emerald member of oneworld, then you are granted access to CX's First Class lounge. You may invite 2 more guests so therefore, you can take 3 people in total. As there are 5 passengers travelling with you, 2 will be access to business class lounges unless your partner is also an Emerald member.
If 2 of you are Emerald members, then it should be okay for all of you to access the First Class lounge at all CX/oneworld ports.</font>
in fact, I think only CX Emerald's (i.e. MPO Diamond/Invitation) can bring 2 guests into CX First Class lounges...Emerald's with other OW programs can only bring 1 guest with them...in general this is the rule, Emerald's can access any OW first class lounges with one guest...individual programs might set a more liberal rule for their own Emerald's / top tiers into their own lounges, but it's usually not extended to Emerald's of other programs...
but I agree that if 2 of the 5 are Emerald's, then the CX staff would probably be nice enough to give the flexibility to let the 5th one in...but if only one is Emerald, then it really depends...
