Presumably the theoretical lowest possible number of members of the House, needed to elect a President, is 26 (since only one member of a state delegation needs to participate to decide the state's vote, if no other member of the delegation casts a ballot).

You have to have at least one House member from two-thirds of the states participating in the contingent election, to meet the quorum requirement. Only 26 of them need to vote for the winning candidate.
