Yes, you can use seperate address for all slaves. Connect all microcontrollers parallel using RS485. It would be efficient if you use modbus protocol.

Sorry for late reply, busy with work. Just to conform, in your application you just want to send data to a particular slave one by one? If that is the case we dont require to use I2C communication we can simply do it by building a normal protocol for communication.
