Thrust and Altitude - Help Needed

The task is to fly at a given TAS in ISA. At low level EAS equals TAS and requires a given N1. At height EAS is lower by the density factor and so is drag. Thrust is also lower, but by how much? Does it work out that the same N1 gives the same TAS at all heights or would you have to adjust N1 up or down?
