Discuss with the interviewer your level of responsibility in your current position. If you have managed larger teams than you currently are, you can also discuss that particular role from your work history.

"Currently, I supervise 12 employees with an overall project responsibility of 24MM. In my role before this one, I managed 23 employees but with a smaller portfolio of 6MM. I can handle a large range of employees."

I have supervised people in my class project and helped assign opportunities to them and motivated them. I look forward to using this skill in the future.
Lauren's Feedback
It would be helpful to list the number of supervisees in your response.
I have supervised an upwards of 10 people during coursework group projects. I feel natural in a leadership role, as I can assign relevant tasks to highlight each members' best skills, and help motivate the group to find shared growth and harmony. I genuinely look forward to leadership opportunities in the future.

I am mentoring two junior developers currently, but in my previous project, I have handled a team of 8 developers.

Perfect! It's great that you also included the job titles of those you are supervising. That would most likely be the interviewers' follow-up question anyways :) Try adding in a sentence related to your desire to be in a leadership role. I have provided an example below.
"I am currently mentoring two junior developers. In my previous project, I led a team of 8 developers. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and look forward to both formal and informal leadership opportunities at Expedia."
