2/3 not required to pass previous question motion when debate has not started?

Our chair told me that when a motion is made, and debate has not yet started on that motion, and then someone moves previous question, it only takes a simple majority to pass that previous question motion (not 2/3 majority as it would if debate had started). I can't find anything about this in RONR and it seems very strange because you're taking away the right to debate with just a simple majority...so, is this actually true?
