How many Republican Senators will be LEGALLY sworn in to office January 4th?

Won't there be two less? Does that give an edge to the Democrats for 2 days so they can adjourn until January 21, 2021?
I guess Mike Pretence will have to be there to keep the balance to the right if Warnock and Ossoff win on the 6th and even after til Kamala becomes presiding President of the Senate?

Just curious!
