A quorum in a ZooKeeper ensemble is a group of servers with more than half of the total number of servers in the ensemble. So for an ensemble of 5 servers, the quorum is 3 servers.
As long as there are 3 servers available an election can always be carried out.
So, in your example, the 4 remaining servers will talk to each other and decide who will be the new leader.
