Yes, u are required to obtain TCS registration of GST even if the turnover is below the limit specified or even with Nill turnover.
It does not depends on the whether Ur vendors are registered or not. It does not make any difference.

Even though u do not have any responsibility for payment, it is required

Answer to your issue:
1. As pe GST law you are considered as an ecommerce operator.
2. As you are ecommerce operator you have to obtain compulsory registration in GST (As a normal Taxpayer).
3. You are not required to collect TCS as consideration with respect to such supplies by vendor to customer is not collected by you. ( i.e payment responsibility is not yours)
4. Your Vendors are not required to obtain compulsory GST registration except his Turnover exceed the 10/20/40 lakh limit as the case may be.
Note : As you are not required to collect TCS, you have to take registration as normal Taxpayer, not as ecommerce TCS.

Section 24 requires compulsory registration of the supplier supplying services through e-commmerce platform.
Read the second para may something help:

Defn of “electronic commerce operator” means any person who owns, operates or manages digital or electronic facility or platform for electronic commerce;
While an aggregator only connects the customer with the supplier/ service provider, an e-commerce operator facilitates the entire process of the supply of goods/ service. However under the GST law, even aggregators would be covered under the definition of ‘electronic commerce operator’. So E-commerce operator is liable for GST.
The law provides that the Central / State Government may on recommendation of the Council to notify that the e-commerce operator will be liable to discharge the tax on such supplies. It is important to note that, in such supplies, the e-commerce operator is neither the actual supplier of service/s nor does he actually receive the services. The actual supplier of services is a third party who provides such service to the customer through e-commerce operator. Instead of levying tax on such actual supplier, the law has imposed levy on e-commerce operator. Therefore, this would be an exception to the imposition of tax as specified in law .
