A paraphrase of the sentence is

Everyone, and I mean everyone, will be there.

As the Oxford dictionary (definition 1.1) says:

Used with repetition of certain words to give emphasis.
‘nobody, but nobody, was going to stop her’

This can also be paraphrased as

Nobody, and I mean nobody, was going to stop her.
