quorum


Explanation:
quorum= the smallest number of people needed to be present at a meeting before it can be allowed to begin (I quote from Cambridge International Dict. of English).
To be more precise, I could use some more context. For example, it could be something like "we need to have a quorum" if the meeting is being scheduled or "I think that we don't have the quorum we need", if the meeting is already under way.
