You can simply do that, by using :GetDescendants() like this:

local _gui = script.Parent
local _tweeningframe = _gui.tweeningframe
local _button = _gui.button
local _yes = false
local _tweenservice = game:GetService('TweenService')

_tweenConfig = {
	_time = 1,
	easingstyle = Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	easingdirection = Enum.EasingDirection.In
}

_button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if _yes == true then
		_yes = false
		for x, i in pairs(_tweeningframe:GetDescendants()) do
			if i:IsA("Frame") or i:IsA("ScrollingFrame") then
				_tweenservice:Create(i, TweenInfo.new(_tweenConfig._time,_tweenConfig.easingstyle,_tweenConfig.easingdirection ), {BackgroundTransparency = 1}):Play()
			elseif i:IsA("TextLabel") then
				_tweenservice:Create(i, TweenInfo.new(_tweenConfig._time,_tweenConfig.easingstyle,_tweenConfig.easingdirection ), {TextTransparency = 1, TextStrokeTransparency = 1}):Play()
			end
		end
		_button.Text = "open"
		_button.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,255,0)
	else
		_yes = true
		for x, i in pairs(_tweeningframe:GetDescendants()) do
			if i:IsA("Frame") or i:IsA("ScrollingFrame") then
				_tweenservice:Create(i, TweenInfo.new(_tweenConfig._time,_tweenConfig.easingstyle,_tweenConfig.easingdirection ), {BackgroundTransparency = 0}):Play()
			elseif i:IsA("TextLabel") then
				_tweenservice:Create(i, TweenInfo.new(_tweenConfig._time,_tweenConfig.easingstyle,_tweenConfig.easingdirection ), {TextTransparency = 0, TextStrokeTransparency = 0}):Play()
			end
		end
		_button.Text = "close"
		_button.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
	end
end)

this code makes all the descendants of a frame visible/invisible using tweenservice.

if you might ask why of a frame, well its because if you would do like everything in a gui, it will make everything dissapear, even the close/open button as you have mentioned.

I have a question: Why you add _ before every variable?

Its probably something they do out of habit and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t actually do anything special (May be wrong).

out of habit, nothing special to it.
