Sorry, but that is just not the case.

The slave systems also need to be sufficiently powerful to run JMeter
without running out of resources.

The master system and its network throughput can be a limiting factor.

There is no fixed limitation on the number of slaves that can be
defined to JMeter.
However, if there are hundreds, there might be problems with the line
length in the properties file or certainly there will be command-line
length restrictions.
Java has a maximum string length. However none of these are likely to
be the limiting factor.
