I don’t see the cladogram you’re referring to — could you upload or describe it?

If it’s the standard animal tree, the closest relatives of chordates are the deuterostome Ambulacraria — i.e., echinoderms (and their sister group, the hemichordates). In many simplified diagrams this is given as “echinoderms.”
