最初の一行を読んだ。
She read the first line.

Is 一行 pronounced as いっこう or いちぎょう?

Is a line of text just 行 or is it 一行? I can't figure out if 一行 is simply 'line' or 'one line'. I'm guessing that 行 is a counter and needs 一 in front of it. It would be ungrammatical to write 最初の行, right?

Just to confirm my understanding, presumably "she read the first two lines" would be 最初の二行{にぎょう?}を読んだ?

    There's nothing wrong with 最初の行.

Yes, in the example, it is the counter for line: いちぎょう, にぎょう, さんぎょう, よんぎょう, ごぎょう, ろくぎょう, ななぎょう, はちぎょう, きゅうぎょう, じゅうぎょう.

一行{いっこう} means a party/group of people who travel together.
