It means “targeting at least one creature” not “exactly one creature”.

10/4/2004·wotc

Intervene can only target a spell that is currently targeting a creature.

10/4/2004·wotc

If the spell’s target leaves the battlefield before this spell resolves, Intervene won’t resolve since it no longer targets a spell that targets a creature.
