This could include both Basic Economy passengers and people who have a confirmed ticket but haven't selected a seat for whatever reason. The only ways that I know of to see is a cabin is actually sold out would be either via an Expert Flyer subscription (which I don't have) or by attempting a "dummy booking" on the flight on delta.com. If Delta's not willing to sell you a ticket, there is a pretty good chance it's sold out.
