When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant. At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container.
