Please follow the below steps:

Step 1: create custom rule event

function MODULENAME_rules_event_info() {
  return array(
    'event name' => array(
      'label' => t('text'),
      'module' => 'MODULENAME',
      'group' => 'groupname' ,
      'variables' => array(
        'current_user' => array('type' => 'user', 'label' => t('The current logged in user.')),
        'node' => array('type' => 'node', 'label' => t('node object.'))
      ),
    ),
  );
}

Step 2: Alter your node presave and call your custom event which you create.
Create your custom code to retrieve user list and pass it in your rule event and if its multiple then call it in loop.

i.e.

foreach($user_object_array as $user){
                        rules_invoke_event('event name', $user, $node);
                }

Step 3: Create your rule with custom event and set action send to email where email will retrieve from $user object which pass in custom rule event.

Let me know if any query/concern regarding this.

Thanks!
