How many plants can be successfully grown in an indoor space of 9ft high 5ft wide 8ft long ? There will be 2 shelves on each wall measuring 2ft by 8ft...
What size pots were you thinking? Are you going to veg for a length of time or going 12/12 from seed? For example if you were to use #3s then those are about 10" wide. Then if you go 12/12 right from seed then you could pack her full of plants. But if you should veg them for 2 months then 2' x 2' is a good space for them. Hope it helps.

How many do you "NEED?"

That is an adequate sized space to grow as many as you need, depending on how wide you train them. If you're going for a quick harvest, then pack em in there and don't tie down any branches. How many depends on pot width.
If you are going for fewer, but bigger plants, leave space for mature plants that can get 30" in diameter, and tie down branches to fill in the width and open up the interior of the plants. At 30" mature size, figure 12 plants.
Or, you can grow two huge 5 foot diameter monster plants in 10 gallon pots, and by LSTing, make them grow many colas. For big plants like this, Put your pots on turntables, so you can easily get to all parts of the plants.
