The answer

A single taslima is sufficient. However, it is preferable for the worshiper to say two taslimas, and this is the view of the majority of scholars. Scholars have agreed that the prayer of one who limits himself to a single taslima is permissible. Therefore, your prayer is valid, and praying behind an Imam who limits himself to a single taslima is also valid.
