import asyncio
from telethon.sync import TelegramClient
from telethon.tl.functions.channels import GetFullChannelRequest
from telethon.tl.functions.messages import SendReactionRequest

async def send_reaction(client, chat_id, message_id):
    try:
        await client(SendReactionRequest(
            peer=chat_id,
            msg_id=message_id,
            big=True,
            add_to_recent=True,
            reaction=''
        ))
        print('Reaction sent successfully')
    except Exception as e:
        print("Error sending reaction:", str(e))

async def main(phone):
    async with TelegramClient(f'sessions/{phone}', APIID, 'HashXXXX') as client:
        if not await client.is_user_authorized():
            print(f'{phone} needs to be authenticated by OTP')
            return

        chat_id = 'ViewTestChannel12'
        message_id = 9

        await send_reaction(client, chat_id, message_id)

with open('phone.csv', 'r') as file:
    phones = file.read().splitlines()

async def run_main():
    for phone in phones:
        await main(phone)

asyncio.run(run_main())

Raw API (when you use client(SomeRequest(...))) is subject to change across minor versions of the library. In this case, older versions of the request used just a string for the emoji, but it is now (as of v1.29) a Reaction as you can see in SendReactionRequest:

result = client(functions.messages.SendReactionRequest(
    peer=chat_id,
    msg_id=message_id,
    big=True,
    add_to_recent=True,
    reaction=[types.ReactionEmoji(
        emoticon=''
    )]
))

(If copy pasting the emoji doesn't work, try using the correct unicode escape sequence.)
