BS's quotes suggest that there were only SH and Elza involved:
Q. "How did Elza defeat the wards on Cadsuane's plain wooden box?"
A. "Elza had been given knowledge of several rarely known weaves, and in other ways made into a tool of Shaidar Haran. Not all of it was pleasant for her."
We don't know how, but apparently SH gave Elza this knowledge, when she was made into his tool.
And:
Q: "You mention that Shaidar Haran has quite a few limitations on his power. Can you give us a few concrete examples of these limitations?"
A: "Shaidar Haran needs a minion to most of his work for him. Elza was essential to Shaidar Haran in getting things done."
If Graendal (or one of Moridin's pets) was there, Elza certainly wouldn't be that essential for SH to getting things done. Graendal could have done everything even better than Elza.

Yeah, but according to BS, he apparently could "give her the knowledge". *shrug* *NM*

This and the others quotes suggest that only SH and Elza were involved *NM*
