First, you need to know that due to this group is created on Exchange on-premises, you can only add Exchange on-premises mailboxes into it, you cannot add Exchange online created mailboxes to it.

If you want to add multiple mailboxes into group in batch. You need to prepare a source file contains mailboxes that you want to add:

Then you will could use script below to add those mailboxes into the group that you wanted:

$users = Import-Csv c:/temp/users.csv  
  
foreach ($user in $users){  
    Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity "Group" -Member $user.UserName  
}  

Here are detailed information about it:
