Deleted startup disk and all updates on macbook

Well here I am. I’m in the process of selling my MacBook Pro 2017 and I did the manual process to delete everything. I did everything as told but I accidentally deleted everything so now I can’t log back in or basically do anything. When I try to erase Macintosh ID it says erase process has failed so that doesn’t work. Don’t know what to do.

if you can, use internet recovery at this point to boot into and then reinstall the OS.
