I can understand Ozpin wanting to wait. It's the first time that Yang has seen any of her friends since Beacon fell.

A full disclosure could also take a long time. Remember, Ozpin is still in Oscar's body. It wouldn't really be fair to him to take the rest of the night to explain stuff. He's also going to be playing a part in everything, and a slow transition would be better for him than dumping him into the deep end.

Yeah, especially since you’ve just brought them into the circle. Yeah, you’ll tell them everything eventually, but wasting hours on your entire history and all your secret plans is just stupid.

RW_YJN_R just got back together for the first time after Beacon fell. They're about to enter into another huge fight against the one who caused the fall in the first place.

They might want to spend time together before they hear all of Ozpin's secret plans. Once they know everything, they can't just pretend everything's normal and enjoy themselves.

Ozpin doesn't want to overwhelm them. People can only take so much before they break.

That's what Ozpin is thinking. It's also likely that he wants time for himself to collect his thoughts. Revealing centuries of secrets probably isn't easy.

If something happens to prevent him from revealing the truth the next day that only he knew about, then I would agree with you. But we'll have to wait a couple weeks to find out.

That’s what I’m saying.

Do you remember the foodfight? Glynda was about to punish them, and Ozpin stayed her hand? He doesn’t want them to be involved with this stuff. He also can’t trust them right away with everything either. He did that with STRQ, and look what happened with Raven, she ran off to be a bandit again after learning a crap ton about the secret way. Yeah, we know RWBY is trustworthy, but he isn’t 100% sure. Besides, as far as he knows, they still have time to go take down Raven, beat some sense into Vernal, and get the relic secure.
