The "1" is a condition, which always evaluates to "true", with no action specified. The default action for a condition, if none is specified, is { print }. So it's shorthand for "print the line".

It's equivalent to:
Code:
1 { print }

or just
Code:
{ print }

since an action with no condition is always executed.
