We intend to remove one or two pillars. The distance all the way is 8m. If we keep one pillar, the distance is 6m. In the attic, there is an old wooden floor. The existing beam rests on concrete at both ends. The beam is spliced above each respective post. Grateful for tips and advice.

Attaching pictures of the attic above the room where we are going to install a glulam beam. The trusses go in the opposite direction to the existing beam supported by columns.
You need to hire an engineer to calculate it. But I think it will be quite a hefty beam (about 40 - 60 cm high), even with a 6m span. You should probably consider a steel beam instead.
