To put the planks up horizontally, I would find all of the wall studs and mark them ( maybe with a chalk line). Then, using a 2 1/2" finish nailer, nail the cedar over the sheet rock directly into the studs. I think this would allow for better expansion and contraction. Glue may fail over the years due to fluctuating humidity levels, plus glue would be very time consuming. If you're applying the planks vertically, I would use 1/2" matarial running horizontally nailed to each stud for the length of the wall. Put up at least three courses (top, middle and bottom), then nail the vertical cedar planks to the 1/2" material.
