Apparently without a bipartisan quorum, the nomination can't move out of judiciary committee.
But...
Senate rules say that a nomination can be brought to the floor, regardless, if all the members of the majority vote to do so.

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to approve the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Barrett's confirmation will now move to the Senate floor, where the entire body will vote on her confirmation. She is expected to be approved by the Republican majority in the chamber, and could assume her place on the high court by the beginning of next week.
Judiciary Republicans hold the majority on Thursday's voting panel, so Barrett is expected to be approved. Democrats on the committee have said they will boycott the vote. Instead, they plan on holding a press conference that coincides with the hearing, in a last ditch attempt to stall the judge's confirmation. Republicans, however, have vowed to push on with the process.
