Two Israelites in a Minyan of Kohanim

Question

In a Beit Midrash where everyone is a Kohen and there are two Israelites, how should one proceed with the Torah reading?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha 

A Kohen is called for the first Aliyah, and the same Kohen is called in place of a Levi for the second Aliyah. 

Afterwards, the Israelites are called, and for the remaining Aliyot, the other Kohanim are called.
