In general, no. The cluster must have quorum to serve resources.

However, corosync is versatile in how it can define quorum. See the
votequorum(5) man page regarding last_man_standing, auto_tie_breaker,
and allow_downscale. Also, the newest version of corosync supports
qdevice, which is a special quorum arbitrator.
