There are currently 9 Supreme Court Justices, so for there to be a majority ruling, 5 would have to rule a certain way.
For a majority ruling on the Supreme Court, a minimum of five out of the nine justices must agree. This is because a majority decision requires more than half of the justices to support a particular outcome or opinion. It is necessary to have a majority in order to establish a binding decision for the Court.
Justices have an option to dissent from a ruling issued by a majority of the Supreme Court
The agreed ruling of more than half of the Supreme Court justices is called a majority decision.
The agreed ruling of more than half of the Supreme Court justices is called a majority decision; the written document is called a majority opinion or the "opinion of the Court."
The Chief Justice's decision on a case carries the same weight as the other justices. And yes, it must be a majority opinion for the ruling to stand, but the Chief Justice does not have to agree.

Not by himself. The Chief Justice has different responsibilities from the Associate Justices, but has no more voting power than they do. In order to reach a decision on any case, including one that overturns a previous US Supreme Court ruling, a simple majority of the Justices must agree on a verdict.
The nine Justices hear cases and deliver rulings and opinions on them. One or more Justice will write a dissenting opinion if they disagree with the ruling.
It means they disagreed with the majority ruling.
