Question:
We were in a Minyan today consisting of ten mourners (Avelim), with no additional person present to answer the Kaddish. How should we have acted?
Answer
This question is discussed in the book Rav Pe’alim (Part 2, Siman 14). He concludes the ruling that it is permitted, because the instruction “and [they shall] say Amen” refers to the ministering angels.
Certainly, it is preferable that there be two people to answer, or at the very least one (see Minchas Yitzchak Part 4, Siman 30). However, in this case, where there was no one else to answer, it is permitted to recite the Kaddish
