Jazz sheets often write 7 assuming it may be played as 9, if not 11/13 even. A triad in the left hand being a bit too pedestrian, a rootless “Cmaj7” is virtually always played as a rootless Cmaj9 (EGBD), or more commonly a rootless C69 (EGAD) especially if the tonic. Inversions may include the root instead of a 9th, e.g. BCEG.
