Going to Uman on Rosh Hashanah is not a selfish thing since this is the day of Judgement, which means that in a sense a person is in court.
While in court, you need the best attorney that you can get. So too, going to the Tzaddik on this holy day is like going to the best attorney to plead our case before Hashem.
It is thus understood that the father is going as his family's representative to be by the Tzaddik for Rosh Hashanah in order to mitigate any harsh judgments from the upcoming year.
In the end the entire family benefits from the father going to Uman for Rosh Hashanah.
