Hmm...well, there are a few ways..but before doing any of them I recommend getting a scroll/spell/potion of both mark and recall. Set the mark to the Knight's room and save the recall until afterward.
What i did was "taunt" the first guy I met inside (who also happens to be wanted by House Hlaalu for the murder of Ralen Hlaalu, so check out the Hlaalu mansion first, before the fight). He attacked me, and unfortunately, so did everyone else (my taunt was subject to a bug evidently). But, since you are at the top of the stairs, access to you can be easily cut off by a simple summon spell/scroll...I used Summon Greater Bonewalker, which is fairly powerful in this case. This allows you to take on the Tong one at a time. After that, it was not too hard as there are only two people who can really put a hurting on you anyway.
Another way is to sneak/cast chameoleon on yourself (recommend around 75%) and backstab the useless buggers. If you are good enough, you can kill most of them with only one hit. If you happen to have a good Chameleon rating, you can continue your assault, doing critical damage throughout the whole affair (though only 1 time per person) since they really can't see you all that well. Chameleon, in this case at least, is much better than invisibility because invisibility is negated as soon as you commit some action other than walking, while chameleon lasts for as long as the spell is active.
A few tips, though: use fortify spells/potions to boost your stats and HP/Mana/Fat., get LOTS of heal potions, since you can gulp them anytime during the fight from your inventory, I would NOT recommend trying to cast spells in combat, since a hit will interrupt your spell (same with scrolls and items), Using fire/frost/electrical shield potions, since they also damage your opponents while protecting you.
Good luck
