Welcome, Lionel.
To me, the first one makes no sense, so I would advise using the second; however, I have heard it argued that the first way is used so commonly, the meaning is so clear, that at least in conversation it is acceptable. I always wonder, though; if you remove all but one chair, is there a space between it?
