One of the parents must go to the meeting.

Literal

Parents [possessive-の] either [subject-が] that meeting [to-に] must-go.

どちらか (either one) is used for choosing between two options. ~ねばならない is a formal variant of ~なければならない — both express obligation ('must'), but ねばならない has a more literary or stiff tone. 行かねばならない = 'must go.'
