Conditioning in fridge

After cold conditioning, will there be sufficient yeast in the bottled beer to carry out carbonation?
The 'Yeast' book gives the specific number of yeast cells required (which I don't recall off the top of my head) but continues to mention that that (small) number of cells can actually look clear/bright and that only a very light dusting of yeast in the bottom of the bottle is required.
Unless the beer has been 'cold conditioned' in the fermentor for an extended period (ie: several months or longer) there will still be enough yeast left in suspension to bottle condition/carbonate the beer.
