An ability that triggers "Whenever you proliferate" triggers even if you chose no permanents or players while doing so.

You don't have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since "any number" includes zero, you don't have to choose any permanents at all, and you don't have to choose any players at all.
