On the whiteboard, the numbers are written sequentially: $1 \ 2 \ 3 \ 4 \ 5 \ 6 \ 7 \ 8 \ 9$. Andi has to paste a $+$ (plus) sign or $-$ (minus) sign in between every two successive numbers, and compute the value. Determine the least odd positive integer that Andi can't get from this process.

Let's think step by step and output the final answer within \boxed{}.
