there is no way to tell with those words alone.

eg All the sellers in town had a meeting. (pl)
The thief broke into the seller's shop. (sg. + genitive)
sellers' competition (pl + genitive)
You don't need an apostrophe when the noun is in plural form, but you need one when it's genitive. And when it's plural and genitive
