There do exist schemes without a closed point, yes. (Liu, exercises 3.3.26/27)
But under some very reasonable additional conditions - I think quasi-compactness will be sufficient, if you are happy with using Zorn's lemma - the result holds. Use/prove the existence of a closed point, and the fact that localizing a reduced ring still gives you a reduced ring.
Brunoh, you don't seem to believe me, would you like me to write it out in detail?
