minion, minyan

Minion or minion, most commonly used in a disparaging way, means a subordinate official; someone who does the bidding of a person in power--
We don't want to deal with a minion; let us talk to your boss.
She's sure the little brat is a minion of Satan.

Minyan or minyan is a Hebrew word, commonly found in print in English, meaning a set of 10 male Jews over the age of 13, the required minimum needed to conduct a religious service--
We need one more to make a minyan for the funeral; will you come?
Sorry, the rabbi said that a woman can't be counted for a minyan; we need another man.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"We need ten men for a minyan, even a minion or a hired hand will do."

Note -- Not to be confused with "mignon", a French word meaning little --
I'll have the filet mignon, medium rare.
