Neither source points to a source with that number - Wikipedia links to the Databank article mentioned above, but that Databank article does not include the exact number.

Some sources, including Wookieepedia and Wikipedia, claim that there were exactly 1,024 repulsorpods. Presumably, each of these senators had their own repulsorpod. Since the Jedi allege Palpatine has control of the Senate, these 2,000 senators are likely in the minority - meaning there are possibly 10,000 senators in total. Moving to a pseudo-canon source, the Episode III novelization mentions the Delegation of 2,000, which was a group of senators who opposed Palpatine (the Delegation was also shown in a deleted scene from Episode III). By visual inspection, there do appear to be hundreds (perhaps thousands) of repulsorpods (I count about 20 in the part of the lowest row that is visible): The best source I can find for a canon answer is the Databank article on the Galactic Senate, which simply says that there were "hundreds of politicians". Sources are conflicted as to how many there were. Assuming (at a guess) ten senators per sector, there are potentially 10,000+ senators in total and possibly many more. Note that the number of pods only slightly reflects the number of senators since each pod contains a delegation.
