Does the phrase: (Divorce upon me from you if you go to them or they come to us) mean one divorce or two?

Swearing by divorce in the aforementioned صيغة (formulation) necessitates a single divorce upon breaking the oath, whether the wife goes to those people or they come to her. More than one divorce does not occur, because the oath is dissolved by the occurrence of one of the two matters.
