How to break countdown loop when minimum number of players is no longer reached

I am making a system for a game where a 40 second countdown begins after 4 players have joined the server, this works fine. However, I am attempting to make it so the countdown cancels if any players leave making the player count go below 4.

However, when a player leaves the server, so far it will trigger my function for waiting for the minimum players, but will not break the countdown loop no matter what I do, causing the game to start regardless.

I have tried adding a ServerToClient remote event where if the minimum player drops below 4 it will trigger and break the loop, however, this doesn’t work.

Here is the code on the server side:

local module = require(script.Parent.ModuleScript)
local breakcount = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerToClient.BreakCountdown



module.RequiredPlayersSystem()

while task.wait(5) do
	if #game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers() <= 3 then
		module.RequiredPlayersSystem()
		breakcount:FireAllClients()
		end
end

Here is the code on the Client-Side countdown loop:

function module.IntermissionCountdown()
	local breakcount = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ServerToClient.BreakCountdown
	local breakLoop = false
	breakcount.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
		breakLoop = true
	end)
	for i = 40,0,-1 do
		local textbox = script.Parent.Intermission
		textbox.Visible = true
		textbox.Text = 'Intermission: '..tostring(i)
		task.wait(1)
		
		if breakLoop == true then
			breakLoop = false
			break
		end
		end
	
end
