The Chakra reactions ahead indicated that there was definitely more than one person there. The reactions were packed together, clearly showing that a large group of shinobi had gathered. However, that did not mean they were some kind of ambush arranged by Orochimaru... Those Chakra reactions were all extremely feeble, which meant that the shinobi were barely alive.
They were probably Orochimaru's Test Subjects. That white snake had truly brought Yuhara to Orochimaru's secret base.
