We don't know. It depends on many factors like:

The recommended actions are:

  1. Make sure you're following JMeter Best Practices
  2. Make sure to monitor the baseline health metrics on the machine where JMeter is running as if JMeter lacks essential resources like CPU, RAM, Network, Disk, etc. - it will not be able to send requests fast enough hence you will not get accurate results. If you don't have a monitoring solution in place - you can consider using JMeter PerfMon Plugin
  3. Start your test with 1 user and gradually increase the load until you reach 8000 concurrent users or resources consumption exceeds the reasonable threshold (say, 90% of maximum available capacity), whatever comes the first. If JMeter stars lacking resources and you haven't reached 8000 users - mention how many users were online using i.e. Active Threads Over Time listener - this is how many users you can simulate using particular this machine for particular this test. This should give you understanding how many machines you will need for the Distributed Testing.
