I do have my AWS Account Id only, and don’t have any IAM user credentials. I want to provision some resources through CFN template. Is there any option to provision the resources by providing the AWS AccountId instead of user credential?

No, you will need IAM credentials (Access Key + Secret Key) to use the account.
This is to be expected, since if I knew your Account Number, then you wouldn’t want me doing things in your AWS Account.
The Account Number is not ‘secret’.
We need an IAM credential to provision any resources.
Alternatively, we can provision the resources with the role assume. But here also we need to fetch the temporary credentials from the role, and that can be used to provision the resources.
