You haven't provided enough information.
You can figure it out for yourself. Follow these steps:

1. Go here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

2. Calculate all your points, except for language.
There are questions that ask about your experience+language ability. For now, calculate these assuming that you do not score CLB9 in each area.

3. The latest cutoff has been 482.
So take 482, and subtract the score you calculated in step 2.
This is how many points you need in the language section to reach the cutoff.

4. Look at the language section, and determine how you can break up the extra points you need.
If your score is still too low, or you need CLB9 in each section, go back to the questions that ask about experience+language ability, and add the additional points.

For example, let's say the score you calculate in step 1 is 400.
482 - 400 = 82

This means that you need at least 82 points in the language section.
Scoring CLB 8 in each language area will give you enough points.

Isn't the latest cutoff 538 instead ?

Yes, but that was unusual. The cutoff is expected to remain at 482+, not 538+, for upcoming draws, so 482 is what people need to be aiming for.

Yeah, 538 seems insanely high to me, without LMIA or PNP you wouldn't have a chance at all !

However 482 also does seem like a very high score to achieve if you ask me, you would have to be a perfect in every way to reach that amount of points !
The best I could get was below 390 :(
 
I just added the IELTS score that i wanted to get and everything else and calculated it like that. i got a 7.5 on IELTS so that was enough to end up with 485 for me (+ work experience and good WES result)
