Can I cast Rootborn Defenses without having any tokens in play? and still be able to protect my creatures?

Will I still be able to protect my creatures without tokens from all removal spells?
Because populate does not actually target anything, the spell won't fizzle in any fashion as a result of controlling no tokens when you cast it.

@Urto: Note that if populate was targeted, you couldn't begin to cast Rootborn Defenses because you can't cast a spell without naming enough legal targets.

You do not need to actually have a token to resolve any populate effect. It just does nothing.

Sure, populate says put a copy of a token you control on the battlefield, so you just copy nothing and give all of your creatures indestructibility.
