Hello, in the figure, the 3.3V/1.8V master requires communication with four 1.2V slaves through I2C buffer. Is there any suitable scheme to recommend

The TCA9803 will work in this application (if the A sides are connected to the master).

the a sides can not connected to master,because the master is 3.3V /1.8V,the slave is 1.2V, is there any other recommendation

The TCA9803 does allow these voltages.

There is an important point here, that is, the B end is the current source, not allowed to pull up, but the B end is to pick up the customer has designed the board, this I can not change

Can't you use a single buffer?

The customer requires that no more than three devices be mounted

For level shifting, you could use the PCA9306/LSF0102 (it is not a buffer but a passive switch; it has the restriction that Vref_B must be larger than Vref_A, but the I/O voltages can be any voltage not below Vref_A).

For our application here,What are the advantages and disadvantages of PCA9306 compared with TCA8306?

You have said that it is not possible to use the TCA9803 in your application. The PCA9306 would be possible to use.
