A simpler form of the sentence is this. I supposed, as we all did, that the meeting would be cancelled.
Here, did replaces supposed. "I supposed, as we all supposed (did) [...]". Because the action (to suppose) has already been previously indicated, there is no need to repeat it. You can simply use instead the auxiliary verb "to do".
